Fractional MD · NED · Growth Advisor
I work with founders, boards and investors who need a senior commercial leader, not a consultant with a slide deck.
Thirty years building businesses across the UK, India, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. From market entry to P&L ownership, board governance to sales execution. I step in, take accountability, and stay until the job is done.
What I Do
About
I build and scale businesses where commercial leadership, operating discipline and sound governance make the difference.
Over thirty years, I have worked across telecom, digital infrastructure, IoT and technology in the UK, India, Singapore, the Middle East and Australia. I have led market entry, built teams from scratch, negotiated long-term national agreements, run full P&Ls, supported board-level investment decisions and helped businesses move from opportunity to repeatable revenue.
At American Tower, I scaled the Asia Pacific business in India from market entry to approximately USD 100M in annual revenue over eight years. That meant building the commercial models, developing customer relationships, closing long-term master services agreements and presenting investment cases for new market entry directly to the American Tower Board. I also led revenue and churn forecasting for M&A transactions up to USD 3B, giving me practical experience across origination, diligence and commercial integration.
I have also operated in founder-led and entrepreneurial environments. I co-founded and scaled an IoT and process automation business across India and Southeast Asia, later acquired by AGC Black Box. In the UK, I ran BT Local Business Greater London South West as Managing Director, with full P&L responsibility, growing the team from 8 to 25 and strengthening pipeline governance, sales execution and operational control.
Earlier, at GTL Infrastructure, I led sales as Head of Sales, signing multiple Master Service Agreements across major telecom operators through structured concept selling. I also ran the In-Building Solutions business within GTL Infra, building the commercial and delivery capability from the ground up.
I work best with founders, owners, boards and investors who have built something real and are ready for the next stage, entering a new market, professionalising commercial operations, improving governance, building leadership cadence or turning growth ambition into a deliverable plan.
I am also actively working with businesses on practical AI adoption, not as a technologist, but as a business leader focused on where it reduces leakage, improves decisions and makes growth more repeatable.
I am particularly relevant to telecoms, technology and infrastructure businesses, and to UK-India market entry situations where judgement, relationships and execution all matter.
Experience
Operating experience across sectors where deals are long, relationships matter and execution is everything.
